And at this time, the people in front also heard the movement on my side, and Lantern Xiao rushed over to Tian Laosi in one step, shouting, "Zhuo Ran, glasses, lie down!" ”

The two of us heard Lantern Xiao's shout, and immediately squatted down without hesitation, and then, Lantern Xiao shot at Ruan Liang, this shot just hit his forearm, Ruan Liang's pistol took off, and the person suddenly lost his center of gravity, and fell down the stone steps with one step.

The second uncle turned his head in front and asked, "Zhuo Ran, are you okay?" ”

I patted my body and stood up in some shock, "It's okay, it's okay!" After speaking, I walked to the place where Ruan Liang fell and glanced down.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I leaned over, a hand suddenly reached up from under the stone steps, and I subconsciously stepped back, but he still grabbed my trouser legs. It's Ruan Liang! This bastard didn't even fall!

I was pulled hard by him, and I sat down on the ground in an instant. At the same time, it began to slide down, and the glasses quickly grabbed me, but there was no way to borrow power from the two of us, so the glasses couldn't stop me from falling with all their might. The glasses grabbed me tightly, my face was flushed, and I scolded: "Ruan Liang, I'm CNM, let go quickly!" ”

Ruan Liangqiang struggled to poke his head out, his face was already distorted with a smirk, and he shouted hysterically: "Die!" Lao Tzu will be buried when he dies!! Come to hell with me!! Ha ha! ”

At this time, Tian Laosi and Lantern Xiao also pounced, Tian Laosi fell to the ground all of a sudden, and stopped my neck tightly, and I was almost out of breath. Lantern Xiao raised his gun and wanted to shoot at Ruan Liang, but at this time, Ruan Liang was hanging under my legs, and Lantern Xiao did not find a suitable shooting position for a while.

There was no way, Lantern Xiao threw the gun aside, rushed over and reached out to grab my pants, and pulled up with all my might, so I stopped the downward trend, and it was a stalemate for a moment, and suddenly I only heard a "snort", I looked down and saw that half of my trouser leg was torn off, and then, I only heard Ruan Liang screaming, and the sound gradually faded away.

I only felt my legs loosen, and the Lantern Festival was shaken firmly, and I hit the stone wall behind me with my buttocks. We were all lying on the ground, gasping for air.

Lantern Xiao let out a sigh, "This bastard, he is so despicable when he is dying, he deserves to die!" I took two steps back and leaned against the stone wall for a moment to recover.

I reached out and helped the injured Tian Laosi up, and said apologetically, "It doesn't matter, right? He grinned and waved his hand, "It's fine." Then he raised his hand, "Let's go!" ”

I said yes, then turned around and patted my glasses on the shoulder, "Thank you!" The glasses shook their heads, "It's okay, Brother Ran!" As he spoke, he glanced back, "The white mist is still spreading upward, let's go!" I nodded and moved on.

After a little further walking, we finally came to the side of the crack in the stone wall, and the small waterfall was just below us, and the splashing mist quickly wet our faces and bodies, and our hair was dripping with water.

To our surprise, there were traces of artificial excavation in the cracks of the stone wall, which made us feel fortunate that there was a place to stay. However, due to the age, coupled with the perennial erosion of water vapor here, the stone steps entering the gap are missing a few steps.

Wen Mo could only enter it first, fix it to the crack in the rock with his steel claws, and then pull us in one by one.

On the stone wall on both sides of the gap, there are some artificially excavated grooves, barely able to stand a person, we can only stand tightly against the stone wall after entering, this is a bitter second uncle, he can't stand against the stone wall with Anado on his back, he can only step on both sides of the stone wall with his feet, plus he is carrying a person, and soon he can't hold on.

So under the persuasion of Lantern Xiao, the second uncle didn't insist too much, so he asked Lantern Xiao to carry Anaduo for him. This is not the time to be overly modest and reckless, everyone does what they can, does not dodge or recklessly, so that they can retreat with their whole body. At this time, Anador had fallen into a semi-comatose state, and blood was oozing from the wound on her abdomen, which had already stained the back of the second uncle red.

After everyone has entered the crack in the stone wall, we must continue to move forward, and we must race against the clock so that Anado can have one more chance of survival!

I thought that the cracks on the stone wall could be relaxed a little, and I always felt that at least the environment was not so dangerous, but in fact, this is not the case, because the water vapor in the gap is very heavy, so the depression on both sides can be stepped on, and the erosion of water vapor is very serious.

And below us, there is the rushing water, I don't know how deep the water is, but it is really fast, on both sides are very smooth stone walls washed by the water, once you fall in, it is very likely to be washed away by the water, and the end of these currents is the bottomless abyss!

Lantern Xiao carried Anaduo on his back and said breathlessly, "Actually, we are really lucky, I didn't expect this kind of place to be smashed out of these grooves, why did people do this at that time?" ”

The second uncle had been following Lantern Xiao's side, taking care of Anaduo behind him, and when he heard Lantern Xiao ask, he said: "Judging from the excavation marks on both sides, it looks very rough and in a hurry. Therefore, it can be concluded that these passable grooves in the cracks are not official acts, but should be the personal actions of craftsmen at that time. ”

I asked curiously, "Why are they doing this?" ”

The second uncle thought for a while and said: "The exact reason is impossible to verify, but I think it is very likely that one or some craftsmen used to escape, in order to ensure that the secrets of this place are not revealed, those craftsmen who have worked here may not be allowed to get out alive, so some people think of using this place to escape." ”

Hearing what the second uncle said, my heart suddenly rejoiced, "So, let's go this way on the right path!" Is there a way to get outside? ”

Yuan An shook his head, "It's not that simple, don't be happy too early." Although what Zhuo Er Ye said is very reasonable, it is indeed very possible, but there are two uncertain factors, first of all, we don't know if the craftsmen of the year really used this escape route to successfully escape. Then, even if the craftsman successfully went out, then after thousands of years, whether the mountain has changed, and the exit here is still not there, we don't know! So, don't get your hopes up too much, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! ”

Yuan An's basin of cold water extinguished the little hope I had just ignited. I really hate it in my heart, this Yuan An is really annoying when he speaks, but I have to admit that his analysis is still very reasonable.

In the following journey, the depressions on the stone walls on both sides began to show a continuous upward trend, and the impact on us was that the difficulty of our progress increased exponentially, especially the Lantern Festival with Anador on our back.

We had to stop and rest every time we went along. Lantern Xiao was soon tired and sweaty, and we were worried that he would not be physically exhausted, so we arranged for everyone else to take turns carrying Anador except for me and Tian Laosi, who were injured. However, this matter ultimately fell on Wen Mo, because except for him, everyone else's physical strength reached the limit.

Stepping on the deep or shallow depressions on the stone walls on both sides not only consumes a lot of our physical strength, but also greatly consumes our spirit. As the water vapor gets heavier and heavier, the grooves on the stone walls on both sides become more slippery, and if you are not careful, you will step on the air, so everyone is attentive and engrossed!

As I climbed upwards, I calculated how far we had gone underground, comparing the estimated results to what we had just climbed. I felt that the exit should not be far away, so I gritted my teeth and reminded myself that so many hardships and desperate situations had not stopped me before, and I must not give up in this last stone carving.

After that, we gritted our teeth and climbed up for about 20 minutes, fatigue and pain, these 20 minutes were the most painful 20 minutes I have experienced in the past 20 years, I really thought about it several times, or just let go, fall a hundred and forget it! But I persevered.

Just when I felt that I couldn't bear it anymore, Lantern Xiao, who was walking in front of Wenmo in place, suddenly said, "Hey! We're at the top! ”

The words of the Lantern Festival made me excited, thank goodness! I finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but a sentence at the end of the Lantern Festival made me almost vomit blood.

Lantern Xiao's surprised tone scolded, "Damn! This TMD is a dead end!! ”

I hurriedly tried to lie up as much as I could, raised the flashlight and looked up, and sure enough, I saw that it was still a black rock, where there was a sign of an exit! I suddenly despaired, staring up at the stone wall in a daze, feeling that all my strength had been drained. At this point, we don't have the strength to find another way. The environment here is so treacherous, there is no place to rest. It's a dead end, and it's a dead end for us, a dead end from which there's no turning back!

Not only me, but everyone was stupid, the team doctor rubbed his eyes and sniffed, I saw that his eyes were red, and the sense of despair at the end of his life came to everyone's hearts.

At this time, Yuan An suddenly panted and sneered, "Hmph! ”

Lantern Xiao looked at him strangely, "Uncle An, what are you laughing at?" ”
